I definitely see that in that particularly one, but there were couches at prices that looked lower than Fantastic Furniture 15 years ago 😮

We went into Ikea for a couple of things this morning and came out with a lot of extras. Also looks like some of their furniture has finally come down from the wild prices during COVID years. Wonder if this is in response to Kmart Hub (Australia) or just lower costs 🤔

Took me two weeks after getting back from Japan for my burnout that started mid-trip to subside. I think something like this will be worth chatting about at the meetup I’m hosting in Brisbane on 17 October 2026.

In Claude Code’s stats, it is now my fourth-highest used model behind Opus 5, Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.8. I have so far used it more than Sonnet 5 and Fable 5 before my subscription ran out a month ago. My total spend on Ollama credit for the week was $6.72

Deepseek v4.1 flash is enough for many of the projects I have, which are private forks of OSS where I explore rewriting pieces in Rust for proof of concept and the beauty if that it only sips tokens, so I am seeing this chain of charges on my Ollama account that say <$0.01.

Think you’re more likely set off alarms if they gave $2m from Robinhood to an actual charity

Government promised no access changes to the NDIS before 1 January 2028. They've already started, per the tribunal. And the big 50% social and community participation cuts are now in force. Families tell me they will have to give up care of children. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/health/...

Exclusive: NDIS changes secretly brought forward
An Administrative Review Tribunal decision reveals that the government is already implementing NDIS access restrictions it promised would not take effect for more than a year.

I could spend a while ranting about my lived experience of anti-technology in the education system just as an autistic kid without even starting on the limits of our education system to respond to what is well beyond a bit of shifting sand

It is going to be interesting to see what price the Apple HomePad launches at. If it’s too expensive, you might as well buy an iPad (or reuse an old one) with a stand and leave that on the bench.

There are some others who may believe that GPS contains a group of people who have been bred to be small enough to squeeze within its shallow confines, but with a voice large enough to read out the street signs.

despite their claims, anthropic is _not_ doing nearly all they can to enable defenders. then, they slap you in the face by doing fear mongering about GLM with a small footnote saying "oh i guess this is good for defenders too, idk" come on lol

The NSW pattern book is a good trick. The number of ways that a house can be customised is the enemy of ‘good enough’.

They have been getting told for months that customers have found the ceiling for how much they’ll spend and reality is sinking in about data centres being an unpopular use of construction resources. They have to accept getting more done with less or the balloon they were inflating will pop.

Mine gets me 250kms of motorway speeds to see my mum with about 10% spare as the most punishing drive I do. Our trick is to pick up some food on the way and make that our lunch or dinner stop at the charger station.

Arnie at the dog park yesterday. 🐾 Captured on iPhone 18 Pro.
Arnie, a black-and-tan miniature dachshund, sits on a concrete path at the dog park wearing a green patterned harness. The photo is taken close up, highlighting Arnie's long snout and expressive eyes, with greenery softly blurred in the background.

Its honestly hard to know if its the milk or just all types of food and drink in Japan being incredibly better quality than what we get here and I recovered from whatever was bothering me before I got on the plane back, because I stopped having issues with normal milk here too 🤷‍♂️

Arnie and Rocky keeping me company in the office while I have a Sunday afternoon chill out and game. Tough life, but someone's gotta do it. 🐾😴🎮
Arnie and Rocky, two miniature dachshunds, nap in a home office beside a desk. Arnie is curled up in a grey dog bed near the window while Rocky, a puppy, sleeps on the carpet nearby.

Watching the Yanks desperately trying to get the vote out for the mid-terms and advising folks of their rights as voters - makes me SO grateful for the AEC. Tweaks I'd make - four year terms and fixed election date. Stop the endless media fixation and political opportunism.

I bought some really fancy milk last week under suspicion of a1 protein intolerance after being able to drink regular milk anywhere in Japan. Holy smokes! you wouldn’t believe how this has a taste and mouthfeel of the rolls royce of milk compared to anything I’ve ever had!

It makes me laugh how some people who are using AI a lot really believe that everyone is going to start building their own apps to add some tiny feature or make it work how they want. Or that companies will lay this foundation generally. I mean fuck, get out and talk to non tech people for 5 minutes

We've somehow been sold that prices only ever go up. Businesses proudly announce price rises, new fees and new surcharges. When was the last time you saw a business proudly announce: "We've found savings and reduced our prices." That's the kind of business I'll go out of my way to support.

Card surcharges have always been a skill issue for small business owners who struggle with taking ownership for managing their costs. How about instead of contributing to inflation by using any excuse to slog customers, why not have a go at looking for reasons to reduce prices?

A cash comeback? Shops navigate looming death of card surcharges
Card surcharges cost small businesses thousands in fees annually. While many stores pass these fees onto shoppers, the RBA is set to change this from October 1.
